This came up last night in a game against RiTides (I claim moral victory!.....though lost technically).

If a unit with Stupidity is holed up in a Tower and they fail their stupidity test, do they automatically leave the building?

The rules suggest that the only way to abandon a building voluntarily is to do so in the Remaining Moves phase, but we couldn't seem to find anything that suggested Compulsory Movement out of a Building was not allowed.


Thoughts?

Page 127 just has:

A unit that is Frenzied, or is otherwise forced to charge, still cannot do so if it is in a building - it must instead exit the building as close as possible to the enemy instead of charging.

Which shows at least that a compulsory charge can force you out of a building.

Now, the "Me 'Ead 'Urts" section of stupidity says if they fail the Ld check, they stumble d6" forward exactly as if they had failed a charge.

Now, you don't actually declare the charge you fail obviously, but the argument could be made that you'd be forced to exit the building as you are essentially forced to fail a charge.

It's certainly not a clear cut case though.
